Summary. Hadn’t used this razor in a while and also felt the need to go a little milder after yesterday. Solid Saturday Shave.
Razor and blade. The blade on its second run is making a better impression than yesterday. It was sharp yesterday and it is today. I have the feeling smoothness is better today. I had the impression stubble appeared back sooner than usual even after using the open comb Game Changer. The razor is a monument in shaving history. Not as easy to get on this side, but a little help from yonder side can go a long way. Daily shaver and could or should be the only razor you will ever need. Even better than the razor is the handle.
Brush and lather. Although I generally prefer synthetic brushes this badger is special. The handle design is close to perfection. Lather was superb today.
Technique. I paid extra attention to pressure and going at a normal pace. Also made sure I was minding the blade overhang.
Enjoy your shave!
